There is a group called Women Gamers of Eve (WGoE) who have a community around this. Their public channel in game is "WGoE=public", and I'm pretty sure they have a private channel for "confirmed" women.

Mint some of my freinds play EvE with there partners/Wives/boifreinds(yes I spelled that right)/girlfreinds/sisters. Some of them dont have full time jobs or school so they tend to be very good at EvE compared to there partners.

Granted some of them spend more time in eve and suck at it more than I do.

What? I play eve knowing im going to get blown up. It would not save time for me to self destruct my ship in the dock.

Issue, Gamers are 90% male, and most are usually not very capable at dealing with the opposite sex. Case in point, Girl speaks up on Fleet comms, and suddenly half the fleet is more interested in hearing her talk dirty, than fighting the fight.....Fleet comms go to hell, people die....and the kids are still trying to make a female friend....

Immaturity seems to be something that many gamers never grow out of....

It's actually GIFT (Greater Internet ******* Theory). A close friend of mine john suler basically wrote the book on it.Xenuria Rising

I personally know of at least 2 dozen women that play EVE, none of whom would ever refer to themselves as "girl gamers". Women that play EVE, yes, but not "girl" anything, since that denotes pre-pubescence.Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue.

Just because you don't go out burning crosses, doesn't mean you aren't a racists either.

Actually one does have to be an "active hater" of women to be a misogynist, that's what the word means.

Someone can display a particular bias against women and not be a misogynist. The spectrum of bias against women and misogynistic behavior do overlap, but they are not the same thing.

As does the word Racist, but the point I originally made remains valid. If you want to adjust the term to "passive" racism or institutionalized Racism, that works as well, but the root cause and motivation remains the same.

This applies to hatred of women, just as much as it applies to hatred of other races or sexualities.

Weren't there like two females on the CSM? Didn't one of them cause drama by throwing a spoon at a goon or something?Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity.

There was in fact a female flinger of spoons! And I would be the other CSM female that has not yet been caught using tableware in in a similarly aggressive and unintended fashion! Also, two other corp mates are also female eve players. So there are some of us out there!

Let's say you are casting a movie and the character to be cast is an Asian male. You reject an applicant because she is a Caucasian woman. Much as I'd like to see CCP Punkturis in the movie, I'd submit that you are neither racist, nor misogynistic, but you are biased because discrimination is required to do the job properly.

The terms "misogynist" and "racist" have much more meaning if you don't try to make them mean everything.

Sigh... That said, your original point seems to have been "I think many men who play Eve are misogynists" which is an opinion and can't really be argued with. I can, and do, disagree with it, however.
